Men det er ikke noe gøy å være kongehusekspert hvis vi ikke tilber de kongelige og de ikke har på krone en gang!!! Bare er som "vanlige folk"..

Og vips kan det tenkes at pappa også skal være med tiåringene når de skal på normal..
The "AI divide" we warned about in 2023 looks deeper now, not shallower.
Full report (in Norwegian):
https://www.samfunnsforskning.no/nyheter/2026/nordmenn-bruker-ki-mer.html
Trust in AI is low — but nudging upward. Only 14% have high or fairly high trust in AI tools (up from 10% in 2023). AI remains the least trusted institution in Norway — far behind the police and courts (~70% each).
Trust is driven by hope and concern, not by age or education.
Hope exists — but trails behind concern. The most widespread hope is that AI will take over tedious tasks (41%). Hope for democratising knowledge has grown a little (20 → 26%). But fewer than half feel hopeful about any of the positive scenarios.

The income gap is growing too. 4 in 10 lower-income Norwegians use AI, versus 7 in 10 among the highest earners. Lower-income users rely on AI almost exclusively for leisure. Among high earners, work and leisure use is nearly equal.
AI is currently benefiting those who already have the most.
What is AI being used for? Among AI users:
🏠 Leisure: 84%
💼 Work: 53%
🎓 Education: 22%
🤝 Volunteering: 14%
The most common tasks across all contexts: writing, information search, and text editing.
Concerns are high — and rising:
* Political manipulation: 70% (+5pp)
* Tech companies' power: 68% (+3pp)
* Undermining critical thinking: 68% (+5pp)
Fear of unemployment is actually the *only* concern that has gone down — from 43% to 37%.
Age still matters a lot:
Under 30: 82% have used AI
30–44: 69%
45–59: 57%
60+: only 27%
The biggest growth since 2023 happened among 45–59-year-olds — not among younger users.
The education gap is widening:
Low education: 44% use AI (+22pp)
Higher ed ≤4 years: 61% (+26pp)
Higher ed >4 years: 71% (+26pp)
All groups are growing — but the most educated are growing fastest. The AI divide is getting *bigger*, not smaller.
🧵 **New report:** Norwegians' use of AI has nearly doubled in two years — from 28% in 2023 to 52% in 2025. But who's using it, and what worries people? A thread on findings from the Centre for Research on Civil Society and the Voluntary Sector.
How often are Norwegians using AI? (2025)
📅 Monthly: 7%
📅 Weekly: 12%
📅 Daily: 8%
📖 Occasionally: 25%
❌ Never: 48%
Over a quarter are now regular users. But nearly half have still never tried it.
The gender gap has closed. In 2023, men were 7 percentage points more likely to use AI than women. By 2025, both sit at 52%. Women are now actually slightly more likely to be regular users (28% vs. 26% monthly or more).

Interessant kronikk av Aslak Nore om hvorfor så mange er norske i Epsteins eposter.
We study emotional reactions, behavioral changes and perceptions of Norwegian society after the attack.
The paper is open access and available here
The findings show that the attack had major negative consequences on all three dimensions and that these consequences were present for both people experiencing the attack first hand, and for other Norwegians with an LGBTIQ+ identity.
The terrorist attack on the Jewish minority in Bondi Beach is a depressing background for the publication of the paper. While our article changes nothing, hopefully it can inspire us to take better care of our fellow citizens with minority backgrounds after such attacks targeting minorities. While Bondi Beach is far away from Oslo, the hatred motivating it the attack is well known also here.
Very happy to see my paper together with Birgitte Haanshuus out. The paper investigates how terrorism targeting a minority affects both the people present during the terrorist attack and people who are members of the community that was attacked. The attack we are studying is the 2022 attack on the Pride festival in Oslo, Norway.
